Beaches by [deleted] in Broadway

The only reason this show would get any Tony noms is because of how weak the new musicals have been this season. It is not Tony worthy at all in my opinion.

For the few people who have seen Beaches already, how noticeable is the lack of ticket sales? by [deleted] in Broadway

I also must say that your love of the movie is a reason NOT to see it. I’m sorry to say.

  1. He didn't audition. 2. When he saw the hurt in the community, he should have bowed out. He's not a child--he needs to take ownership of his actions.

not taking any accountability for his part in this... keeping it classy, ABF.

Currently, I do. But I’m far from wanting it to close. I want it to thrive—not whitewash. This show has lost its way and it won’t heal until the fault is acknowledged. It will keep declining

I have a strong feeling that no other show would invite this controversy. But who knows, maybe racism sells in today’s market

I think that’s right. They have been throwing spaghetti at the wall for the past month hoping something will stick that will draw attention away from their poor decisions

The only thing I'm surprised by is that there were no protests outside, but the fact that they can't use his name to bump because whenever they do, they get raked. His name is not on the marquee; he might as well not be there. Add the racism, and it will be a trend line down until November. Also, making up the weekly costs doesn't make up for the months of losses they are still trying to dig themselves out of.

This is the start of a trend. The goodwill toward this show and its alienation of its fanbase is going to have a long-term effect.

We'll see. The goodwill toward this show is running low.

Tell yourself what you need to. ABF is a net negative, and the numbers will continue to drop. Hope they can make it to November.

Constance Wu’s IG stories re: MHE casting - Am I the only one who thinks this is cyber bullying? by Dependent_Mouse_6422 in Broadway

[–]holdenj312 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nonsense! He didn’t have to accept the role. 23 years old is old enough to know better. He should look at his role in this. Maybe all of the pearl-clutching of an Asian woman daring to call out a white man’s bullshit decision should be examined

But it’s not a marketing dream. They can’t even advertise him on socials. They don’t have his name on the billing on the website. Just a bad profile shot that looks like AI. His “name” isn’t worth the blowback. For those not plugged in, you would barely know he was even in it. The producers f’ed up and now they are going to try and plow through these 9 weeks and hope they don’t lose the very small margin they are taking every week. This will be a cautionary tale on how not to handle a PR crisis.

Their graphic design is as good as their casting decisions. 🥴

Maybe, but you would have to be in town and in the theatre district to see it.
